DEATH ANALYSIS: The Half Ghost Savior of Amity Park

TLDR;

Kirby kid does a blog on a ghost hunter who's half ghost... Not sure how that works either.

Hey guys! Let me just start off by saying thanks to all those who read the previous blog, it was so awesome knowing everyone enjoyed my blog, especially since it was my first one ever.

Last time, I hinted to doing the infamous Danny Phantom in my next DEATH ANALYSIS, and that’s what I’ll be doing. Like before, I will not give Danny any of his feats from his video games, comic book series, or anything else non-canon. Hopefully I will introduce, or re-introduce you guys to this very creative character, and to my surprise Ben Singer (Wiz’s secret identity) doesn’t know who Danny is! So if you’re reading this right now Ben, I hope I can show you, or anyone else for that matter, what Danny is made of. Now let’s get started.

Background

Danny Fenton was an average 14 year old adolescent. His parents, however, created a business based around something not so average. Ghost hunting. When his parent’s machine into “the ghost zone” had failed, Danny, after being tempted by his best friends, had gone into the portal and flipped on the power switch within it. After doing this the portal had charged, ripping Danny through the ghost world AND the human world. Through this, ectoplasm had fused with Danny’s DNA structure, inverting the color of his clothing, hair, eyes and the biggest change of them all, gave him ghost powers. Scared of his powers at first he decided to stop using them, fearing that he’d go from “Geek to Freak” among his peers (and how could you tell your ghost hunting parents you were a ghost?), but after realizing the good his powers could do Danny then made use of his powers to save his home Amity Park from any ghost that dared threaten it, and Danny Phantom came to be. His awkwardness carried into his superhero career at first, but as the show progressed, Danny became more confident, having an attitude similar to that of Spiderman in battle. Danny is very tenacious, risking even his own life for the good of others on multiple occasions and has outsmarted and trumped foes stronger and smarter than him even if his chances of winning were or are slim to none.

Skills (As Danny Fenton)

Danny’s battle experience comes from his experience as a ghost hunter. Being trained by his ghost hunter mother and father Danny is knowledgeable in how to fight beings from other dimensions, and has shown to be very athletic like in Micro-Management, capable of clearing an entire obstacle course in 2 minutes and do front flips or back flips with little effort. He’s even been shown to be a very skilled tactician (sorry lousy) throughout his series, able to form plans in dire situations like in Pirate Radio where he devised a plan to infiltrate a ghost ship harboring all of Amity Park’s adults and saved everyone. He has even resisted possession on more than one occasion proving he has an indomitable will, and is also capable of using his ghost powers when he’s in his human form, but not the extent his ghost form has shown.

Weaknesses (As Danny Fenton)

Even though Danny is very athletic, he’s also human, and is just as vulnerable as any other human, especially if he is somehow unable to turn into his ghost form.

Standard Equipment

Fenton Thermos

Coming from a family of ghost hunters, Danny’s parents have created a wide variety of ghost weapons. While giving Danny the entire ghost hunting arsenal would be cool, I think its best I leave Danny with this, especially since he uses it in nearly every episode.

The Fenton Thermos is a ghost catching device that launches a blue beam from inside to, well, catch ghosts. It’s worth noting that while the Fenton Thermos has a limit to the amount of ghosts it can capture, it ignores how powerful a ghost is and traps them regardless, like Danny’s evil and more powerful future self or Freakshow when he had the reality gauntlet and the ability to control all of reality. I also want to bring up something a lot of you may not know. Butch Hartman (the creator of Danny Phantom) said in an interview that ghosts in the Danny Phantom universe aren’t the disembodied spirits of dead people, but they’re actually monsters/creatures from a mysterious dimension. Calling them ghosts is just easier (though there are actual ghosts in the Danny Phantom universe, Desiree for example). So whether or not the Fenton Thermos can suck up ghost-like creatures is debatable, especially since the thermos was created for a species that at the time Danny’s parents didn’t have proof of in their existence.

Transformation

After yelling the phrase “Going Ghost” Danny surrounds himself with 2 rings that alter his appearance and unlocks his ghost half, Danny Phantom. In ghost form Danny is capable of doing anything a ghost is capable of doing with the exception of a few… extra abilities.

Invisibility/Intangibility

Danny turns invisible, and cannot be seen by anything other than heat seeking devices. Danny is also capable of making other objects invisible with him through contact, and can make himself intangible and invisible at the same time.

When intangible he becomes untouchable to everything. Just like invisibility he can pass his intangibility to other objects, but can still be seen. It’s also worth noting that while Danny’s intangibility has been negated by other Intangible beings he has shown in multiple occasions to be able to go though other intangible beings as well.

Overshadowing

Also known as another badass term for possession, Danny is capable of possessing animals, inanimate objects, and ghosts that are more powerful than him like Vlad, an even more powerful half ghost.

Ghost Ray

Danny is capable of shooting blasts of ectoplasmic energy from his palms, which can be manipulated into other blast variants. He can shoot them out as disks, spheres, rings, and can even power it up into a “super ghost ray” that is capable of disintegrating entire ghosts like he did in Kindred Spirits against his faulty clone and destroy a mini golf course in the process or in Frightmare against Nocturnes sleep walkers.

He used one of his blast variants (Ghost spheres) to completely destroy a monster nutcracker, a giant nutcracker the size of a building, in The Fright before Christmas in one shot.These ectoplasmic energy blasts are capable of destroying stone and can cut through metal depending on how Danny harnesses their power. He can also channel his ecto-energy into his fists that can be used to increase his physical attacks like he did to Tucker in Tucker Phantom.

Danny can also harness his ecto-energy into light that he can emit from his palms to blind his opponents like he did in Double Cross My Heart. He can even blast other intangible foes with these blasts like he did in Beauty Marked against another ghost.

Ecto-Shields

Danny can produce a full dome of protective ecto- energy that can shield him from attacks strong enough to destroy buildings like Vlad’s own Ghost rays. His own shields have other variants like his ghost ray, such as the reflective shield which is capable of reflecting projectiles.

He can also produce ecto-shields that can repel enemies around him, sending out an aural projection strong enough to obliterate small ghosts.

Duplication

Danny spends most of the entire series trying to master this ability. Though his first few attempts were… faulty, he’s shown to master it early on in Beauty Marked and uses it better in Torrent of Terror where he splits himself into 4 copies.

Ghostly Wail

This is arguably Danny’s most powerful attack. First used in The Ultimate Enemy, this attack allows Danny to scream ultra sonic waves of ectoplasmic energy capable of one shotting powerful ghosts like Danny’s future self, future versions of all of his main ghost enemies, and is capable of downing an entire building. Around the first few times Danny used this attack it drained him completely of his ghost powers and reverted him back into his human self, but he has grown powerful enough to resist this since we see him in Phantom Planet using the attack 3 times in a row and wasn’t even be fazed by it.

Cryokinesis

In Urban Jungle Danny gained the ability to control ice, though Danny technically had this ability from the beginning of the series. His ice powers give him the ability to freeze things on contact or through firing lasers from his hands or eyes and shoot shards of ice. Just like his ecto-energy, Danny can charge his ice into his fists which he does in Frightmare and punches right through Nocturne with an icy fist and freezes him from the inside. He can also merge his ice and ghost ray powers together to create a giant exploding green snowball that completely obliterated Undergrowth when he was the size of a building. He can also make a shield out of ice as an additive to his shield variants.

Danny’s ice powers are really powerful, capable of freezing all of Amity Park and even Undergrowth in one shot while he was in full size. His ability to control ice also makes him invulnerable to being frozen.

His first power in the series is a form of cryokinesis, which is his ghost sense that I mentioned before. His ghost sense allows Danny to… sense ghosts. It comes out of his mouth in a blue mist, and just like the Fenton Thermos it seems to work against ghost-like enemies or other half ghosts.

Electrokinesis

This was a little harder to find because he doesn’t use this lot throughout the series, but it is there. In the first episode Danny uses this power to charge the Fenton Thermos, and in Public Enemies he sends his own electric current through an electric line.

In Flirting with Disaster he uses his electric powers more wildly (and noticeably I might add) while being shocked himself. He’s also able to fuse himself with a video game with his own avatar in a video game… somehow.

Telekinesis

He’s able to lift things by emanating an ectoplasmic line of ecto-energy that lifts whatever he’s trying to lift. He’s only done it in Boxed Up Fury but it’s done so effectively I included it. (Plus I needed another Kinesis in here.)

Power Augmentation

We see this power quite a lot throughout the series, mostly whenever Danny is stuck in some sort of trap or fighting a stronger opponent. He first used this against the Fright Knight in his Halloween special to disarm him of his sword, and can be shown off by either a green or white aura.

Body Manipulation

This power is mostly seen in Danny’s ghost tail that appears when he tries to fly. Danny is also capable of making holes in his body where an enemy would hit, which can help him escape enemy attacks.

If he isn’t making a hole he can separate his body in half or stretch his body to make him longer and harder to hit.

Regeneration

Danny has a really high level of regeneration. We see him regenerate from small cuts and major damage all the time throughout the series but in one episode, Reality Trip (prepare to see this episode brought up a lot), Danny gets turned into goop by the reality warping Freakshow and gets rammed by a rollercoaster and just simply… forms back together. I guess you can add this as another form of body manipulation but the way Danny forms mashes back together proves that he has a high level of regeneration.

Strength Feats

Now we go onto feats! Danny, before he had his ghost ray abilities, had to rely on his brute strength and strategic mind to fight off foes. In the first episode we see Danny kick over a giant monster at least 2 stories tall made of meat with ease. He’s lifted the giant ghost dragon and thrown it multiple times and effortlessly lifted a school bus full of children in Forever Phantom. In Eye for an Eye Danny kicked Vlad through about 4 floors of a building with little trouble and once again we see another feat from Reality Trip where Danny rips the reinforced titanium off of a living space shuttle.

Danny has never really shown an upper limit to what he can lift, and according to Butch Hartman in another interview, Danny being a half ghost means that gravity doesn’t affect him, so he can lift really heavy things. This explains Danny’s ability to walk on walls, but also sort of makes it impossible to determine where Danny’s upper limit lies, but a reasonable guess would be around 10 to 30 tons.

Speed/Reaction Feats

In Maternal instincts Danny goes through training and literally in the first few seconds of the trailer Tucker records Danny’s speed on a speed gun to be 112 mph. While I don’t have any problem saying Danny could fly at that speed naturally, he’s shown to be way faster. In Reality Trip Danny out flies a space shuttle brought to life by the gem of life. Impressive since space shuttles can reach speeds of over 17,500 mph!

This alone puts Danny at least mach 23 in terms of flight speed. For reaction speed I’d put him at exactly the same level, since he dodges cannonballs, catches arrows, and goes through traps with little trouble. Not to mention Danny maneuvered himself in front of the space shuttle he flew past, which would require hypersonic reactions to do. He was also able to catch Jasmine's punch in Secret Weapons when she was in the Fenton Skeleton (basically a mech suit made specifically to beat ghosts).

Durability/ Endurance Feats

Just like a space shuttle Danny can survive atmospheric re-entry normally and survive out in space (all the way out to Jupiter) and not be effected. He still however needs a helmet since he probably cannot do self sustenance. (This is debatable since we see Vlad out in space and he’s a half ghost too so Danny should be able to be out in space without a helmet.)

Other than that Danny has shown to take beating after beating and still keep fighting. In The Fright before Christmas Danny fights a giant nut cracker that crushes Danny into a car, building, the cement floor, and underneath his foot and Danny wasn’t even fazed by it afterwards.

Weaknesses (As Danny Phantom)

Danny, if overpowered, can revert back to his human form. He is also weak to ghost weapons in his ghost form, and his intangibility can be canceled out by another being that is intangible (though he can still go through other intangible beings.)

Danny is an incredibly skilled combatant. He has enough versatility and a strategic mind to beat foes way out of his league. His classification as a ghost gives him the ability to evade a lot of enemy attacks, and he can be very hard to hit as a result. But, can he hold his own in a one on one?

Both Ben and Danny have a lot of similarities to each other. They both wear their symbol’s proudly upon their chest, got their powers by complete accident, and come on guys! It’s Nickelodeon Vs. Cartoon Network! Who doesn’t want to see that?

Next time on DEATH ANALYSIS..

Heh heh. Not every Death Analysis preview will be easy to figure out… well, at least not normally. It’ll fluctuate from easy to hard, and right now we’re on hard. Also, if you haven't watched Danny Phantom yet, do it! It's a really good show that sadly lasted around 52 episodes, so it shouldn't take a long time to watch the entire series. Well, that’s enough outta me.

Till next time, Kirby Kid signing off.

I knew Danny Phantom was tough, but boy did I gloss over a lot of that back in the day when watching it.

And until now, I never could think of a good match for him. I heard Aang and Jake Long (who I know nothing about) thrown around a few times, but yeah, Ben Tennyson sounds like a fitting opponent for Danny Phantom.

I just got a funny idea to blend my laptop, walk up to the place I got and slam the jar on the help desk before demanding my money back. Clearly I've been on the internet far too long. lol

Well damn there it is. I just went off performance. I don't particularly remember that scene and at that ssj3 goku was powerful enough to beat both fat buus. Kid buu was even with him though and technically he should be weaker than the original fat buu.......Dbz is weird....er sometimes.....Also after running around the internet a bit I found out buu was tougher than I thought. Apparently according to some calculation of the scan kid buu's planet destroying attack was so overkill for destroying the earth it was equivalent to a small star. A planet level punch wont cut the mustard apparently. http://outskirtsbattledomewiki.com/index.php/8-character-profiles/226-ch...

Anyway I'm not going to debate that. It wouldn't make sense to end one vs argument only to start up another one that involves DBZ. That would be ironic as all hell as anything debate relating to Dbz ends in a shitstorm apparently. I still don't understand why that is. It cant just be the number of fans.

It's sanctioned by Nintendo. Is fairly mainstream. Is almost never out of character for the characters in question, and helps expands the abilities of characters that may not get much on foot fighting action.

Um......I'm not mad....I don't know ha gave you that impression....Was it the post spam? The reason I spammed posts isn't because I was angry but because my laptop kept crapping out on me and I couldn't be sure how long I would be able to keep on typing on one reply before it would do it again so I just kept throwing a few short ones instead of one long one.

I know that's why I said he got hit XD. But let's try and end this off.

10. Ok dude, dude, chill out. I'm not suggesting Metaknight has "dimension level" durability. If Zero going up against a planet destroyer and winning means he is a planet buster in strength, then I guess cloud is a planet buster too. No right? God this wouldn't be so hard to argue if they gave a clear examination of HOW Zero beat his old body. You could technically use any weapon against him and win. Jesus dude

11. Well he's also painting but I mean MetKnights never really been shown to have any sort of stamina issue either really. (That logic sorta goes with all video game characters honestly. A fat Italian plumber can run for hours and be underwater for just as long) and Zero is just all around inconsistent.

Eurasia (the colony that old zero survived, and I couldn't find picture with the colony but that the size of it just.. This picture is an explosion XD)

Jesus dude, the way your just throwing feats around in your last 4 posts is outrageous and inconsistent with what we've seen Zero capable of doing. (Oh, also that was ZERO'S OLD BODY. STOP COMPARING NEW ZERO TO THE OLD ONE.)

Not to mention you can beat that game with any of the 3 characters in that game, and even then it's totally contradictory to what we've seen Zero do.

While Zero wins in Durability, Metaknight easily trumps Zero in every other category. Metaknight's Speed goes beyond that of the speed of light, and it can be multiplied. His Physical and energy power are stronger, and while a normal hit from Metaknight won't be '"nuke" like, a force moving at the speed of light with thousands of tons of pressure behind it is gonna rip through Zero if given the chance (and can possibly be stronger than a nuke, and he has a nuke like attack). Metaknight has the experience advantage (by far) and his destructive capacity with his Mach tornado (like I've mentioned before) is stronger than crash Kirby's. (Which is nuke like) He can also clone himself, teleport, manipulate space with his cape, and has easily quantifiable feats.

Let's just stop arguing now, but your free to reply anyways.

(Also I hope your not mad at me, cause I'm not. I feel like this argument may have gotten intense so I apologize if anything I said was rude)

That would imply x and zero are planet level or small planet level in the very least. Do you see me pushing for planet/small planet level x and zero? Of course you don't. Also what were the conditions of them beating those dimension creator/destroyers and reality warpers? Zero defeated both. He beat cyber elves as well as the dark elf and he helped x and axl beat lumine in x8 who created an entire dimension for them to fight in and tried to kill them by destroying it when he was losing. I'll post the link.

10. I'll be more accurate. They did defeat someone whose body was enough to stop the final weapon(the planet destroying laser) from destroying the earth in a straight fight in x4. No ifs ands are buts. The entire plot of x4 was stopping the cannon so yes it was a planet buster and the guy who lead the army that built it(the general) stopped the cannon from destroying the earth by using his body. Before his body stopped the laser x or zero(whoever you chose to play as) defeats him in combat and heavily damages him.

11. Before I was interrupted I was going to say that wasn't my point. my point was that he wont be worn out by stamina. That hurt animation is him injured and as we saw he could still fight like that. Sometimes he feels pain injury other times he doesn't. It isn't consistent is my point

12. who knows what size it was. Given the size those space colonies are it probably wasn't much smaller and even if it was it was probably huge enough to kill zero as like you said his body was some degree weaker. it doesn't mean. he was vastly weaker is my point. If his body was life wiper level than the new one could be an entire step down to country level and still he would be to durable.

It destroyed an entire city so yes its a nuke. If it wasn't a nuke in description it certainly was one in power and if you knew the situation you would know that zero couldn't have possibly escaped that nuke as that entire mission he was INSIDE the nuke! He ran off but there was nowhere to run.

Hey guys! Kirby kid here! I consider myself strange, but definitely relatable. I absolutely love gaming and that's why I decided to become a G1 here. I'm definitely what people consider a "nerd" of gaming from my friends and I graciously take that as a compliment, a label even.

As you can tell by my name I absolutely ADORE the Kirby franchise. It is my first gaming hero I really liked as a kid.(Everyone else takes a close second). And ever since I saw the brilliance that is DEATH BATTLE I've obviously suggested a few Kirby battles but none have come as close as I thought. With TONS of research I've learned that my favorite characters cute appearance hid some VERY strong secrets. I find it amazing that after all these years my favorite gaming character kept a HUGE boost in power secret to me.

I LOVE DEATH BATTLE. I mean who doesn't? And I always like to give in my 2 cents about a character I know. Hopefully the secret knowledge I contain in my head can be used to support someone I have in mind.(I WONDER WHO THAT COULD BE DERR). And to you G1's I sign off. POYO!
